The Correspondent was very sweet*, I just finished it yesterday. *As a working mom who always has her nose in her laptop, it did hurt my heart a little.

Here a couple of nonfiction books that I really enjoyed:
“Incident at Big Sky” by Sheriff Johnny France & Malcolm McConnell
It’s about the abduction of a an Olympic athlete in Montana in 1984 & the subsequent 5 month manhunt for the suspects, a father & son duo who literally lived in the remote & rugged mountains.
“Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune” by the Bill Dedman and Paul Clark Newell, Jr.
It’s about the life of W.A. Clark who struck it rich in mines in the 1880s and became a railroad baron in New York City. His wealth pretty much equaled (if not surpassed) Rockfeller’s. His daughter Huegette died in 2011 at the age of 104 and lived the last twenty years of her life in a NYC hospital despite having mansions in Connecticut, California, 3 NYC Park Avenue apartments and being in good health. When she died, her estate was valued at over $300 million.
And for fiction, I suggest anything be Elmer Kelton if you are a fan of westerns.

A Rip Through Time. 21st century Canadian police detective Mallory Atkinson somehow body swaps with a 19th century maid in Edinburgh. The elements for a romance are there, but if one is coming it’s an incredibly slow burn. I’m three books in and no smut, no nsfw, no spice. Just really good murder mysteries.
